Atlanta saw a violent reaction to the Rodney King verdict, which was announced on April 29, 1992 in Los Angeles. Demonstrators in Atlanta began to assemble that evening, with police first calling in reports at 2 a.m. on April 30. Clashes with police officers heated up later throughout the day in the heart of Atlanta's downtown. Here, a policeman chases a student down Peachtree Street in front of Macy's Department store during the unrest. (Jonathan Newton/AJC staff)
